From September of 2014: Lonnie cannot talk yet, but he can make simple sounds such as ah and oh to express himself and he can call mama. At that time, Lonnie was able to sit and crawl and could stand for a long time with support. He can walk a few steps by holding onto the sofa and he can walk for a few meters with his hands being held. The staff believed at that time that he would be walking independently soon! Lonnie likes to be teased and will smile when someone is teasing him. He can turn his head to look at the person who called him. Sometimes he is afraid of strangers. When playing at his neighbor’s house, he will cry if he loses sight of his foster mom. When he sees his foster mom, he will stop crying. Lnnie is comfortable with being held by acquaintances. He likes colorful toys that make sounds and he can play for a whole day with toys he likes. Lonnie has a good appetite; and is not picky. He likes all food given to him. His favorite food is shiitake and minced meat congee. He gets really excited when he sees food and he is simply adorable.

Jude is a contented little baby who recently joined us here. He is interactive and loves to play. Jude is quick to reach for toys and grasp fingers. He is great at tracking people and does fairly well with his bottle and feeding. Jude loves to make silly noises with his mouth and is starting to show off his smile. Jude’s core strength is already improving; he has a Bumbo seat that he loves to sit in and we are working with him to be able to sit up independently. Jude first learned to roll from his tummy to his back and is now working on rolling from his back to his tummy. While laying on his tummy, Jude can hold his head and shoulders up. While laying on his back, he loves to play with his hands and feet. He is a great sleeper and generally sleeps through the night, although he does not always take consistent naps.

Psychomotor Development: slightly further improved, 2nd percentile level – meaning, above average for age. He is starting to pronounce more words, repeat some words after an adult, follows orders including ‘to’ or ‘on’, to indicate a few objects which he is asked about. The child imitates better and better play gestures – he can put shapes into the holes of simple puzzles, scribbles after demonstration, draws horizontal lines, and builds a tower made of 7 blocks. He willingly plays with the blocks, puts them back into the basket, and can tap one block against another. He is clearly interested in what he is doing, repeats many activities for his own pleasure, and concentrates well on activities when motivated. He looks, by his eye expression, for approval of his actions and enjoys praise. He has good attention span with activities, but may get distracted when there is little external stimuli.
